To get the Spice Tea recipe from Cliff you’ll need to do the following:

Have a milk or an egg. I would suggest an egg as it’s less money lost to acquire the recipe.

It will need to be winter! Cliff will only give you this recipe in winter.

Cliff needs to of course still be a villager in your town!! Make sure to get the recipe before he (potentially) leaves!

This must be the first item you give to Cliff on that day.

You must have spoken to Cliff at least once since you have started the game

After spring 18th, when Cliff arrives for the first time in Flowerbud village, you should be able to find him on moon mountain between the hours of 9am-5pm most days. He’s typically around the carpenters house or fisherman’s tent.
